Best bet is for you to have a look and decide for yourself. Also keep in mind Bell&Ross has been in business longer than the modern iteration / birth of Richemont's Panerai brand name.

Exactly, Saoirse32 gets it

Here's a pic of my first-release BR03-92 with ETA movement i paid $1750 for. Have beaten the living $hit out of it, and she even survived being worn through two seasons of SCCA Formula 2000 racing. Before this, their timepieces were 46mm. They decided back in 2007 or so to offer a line of smaller 42mm timepieces as well (sound familiar... Panerai?). So if anything, it does seem like the modern Paneri brand from the Richemont Group is following Bell&Ross' lead.

Yet Panerai looks to be charging 3x more
